Lyrics: Jerry Herman 

Book: Don Appell 

Premiere: Tuesday, October 10, 1961 

Shalom, Shalom, 

You'll find Shalom 

The nicest greeting you know; 

It means bonjour, salud, and skoal 

And twice as much as hello. 

It means a million lovely things, 

Like peace be yours, 

Welcome home. 

And even when you say goodbye, 

You say goodbye with Shalom.

It's a very useful word, 

It can get you through the day; 

All you really need to know, 

You can hardly go wrong, 

This is your home as long as you say: 

Shalom, 

The nicest greeting I know; 

Shalom, 

Means twice as much as hello. 

It means a million lovely things, 

Like peace be yours, 

Welcome home. 

And even when you say goodbye, 

If your voice has 

"I don't want to go" in it, 

Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it, 

And say goodbye with shalom.

It's the most amazing thing 

That I think I've ever heard 

Wait till Berlitz hears of you 

All my foundering's done 

I'ma native with one little word 

Shalom, Shalom, 

I find Shalom 

The nicest greeting you know; 

It means bonjour, salud, and skoal 

And twice as much as hello. 

It means a million lovely things, 

Like peace be yours, 

Welcome home. 

And even when you say goodbye... 

If your voice has 

"I don't want to go" in it, 

Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it, 

And say goodbye with shalom.
